Increasing Silver demand is expected in alignment with global Green Agendas

Technical Analysis: Key levels to watch

Since the sharp rebound of silver in 2020 near its $11 low, leading economists including Robert Kiyosaki, Mike Maloney, and Ray Dalio have highlighted the potential of silver as a robust investment, from both financial and environmental perspectives. The fundamental strengths of the metal, coupled with significant price action patterns throughout its chart history, have made silver an attractive investment opportunity since 2020.

Analyzing the Foundations of the Silver Bull Run:

Alignment with Global Green Agendas and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): From the agendas of the United Nations towards that of China and the UAE, extending from 2030 to 2060, silver is regarded for its key role in the advancement of sustainable plans. Its industrial applications align with:

Clean Energy Transition: Silver is essential in the production of solar panels and electric vehicles. Recent headlines highlight increased Chinese demand for solar panels, boosting silver premiums and reducing inventories.
Innovation and Renewable Technology: Silver's use in electronic devices and 5G networks supports innovation and sustainable technology initiatives.
Climate Action: Silver's role in water purification and treatment underscores its importance in climate mitigation efforts.

Monetary System Significance: the silver standard, along with that of gold have played a crucial role in shaping the grounds of our monetary system today, having the real and scarce store of value behind our currencies. With that fact, investors seek the precious metals as a hedge for the ever-growing inflationary pressures. In terms of affordability, silver is in the spotlight for the easier affordability over the yellow metal, sharpening its performance and demand levels.

Correlation with Artificial Intelligence Trends: Silver, known for its exceptionally low electrical resistance among metals used in tech manufacturing, is poised to benefit from the exponential growth of AI. As AI technology advances, the demand for silver is expected to surge in tandem. Silver, along with palladium and platinum, plays a crucial role in powering the chips at the heart of AI technology. This essential function underscores the vast potential and increasing demand for these metals, driven by their critical contributions to the rapidly evolving tech industry.

Technical Analysis:

Silver Outlook: XAGUSD – Weekly Time Frame – Logarithmic Scale

Long-Term Bullish Perspective: Using the Fibonacci extension tool from the 2008 low, 2011 high, and 2020 low:

The 32.52 level aligns with the 50% extension level
The 37.20 level aligns with the 61.8% extension level, and a break above 34 would confirm the up-trending trajectory as it represents the 61.8% retracement zone between the chart’s all time high and low
The 40 level is a significant round number checkpoint prior to a potential continuation towards the 44.20 zone.
The 50 level represents a key milestone between silver's all-time high and new historical levels, potentially approaching a three-digit value.

Medium - Long-term Bearish Perspective: Supports are currently held near the 2020 high resistance levels between $30-$29. Further drops could regain bullish momentum at $28, with $26 as the next potential support in a more extreme bearish scenario.

The World’s leading economies, with China in the lead as the largest consumer, are increasingly incorporating silver within their industrial expansion trajectory, setting the metal on a high potential bull run. Contractionary policies and geo-political risks might halt the progress of the mentioned trends, yet the bullish potential of the metal can stay promising from an evergreen outlook.
